    "And with this incredibly tight batch of prime 1987 Grateful Dead, we’re thrilled to bring you Dave’s Picks Vol. 36, matching the number that will be forever tied to Dick’s legacy. Thanks for sticking around this long, and for joining us through these past nine years of archival live Grateful Dead releases." - David Lemieux

    We're doing things a bit different for this one - two complete shows on four CDs, bringing you one of Dave's faves and what very well could have been one of Dick's Picks. Yep, back-to-back nights from peak era 80s - the furthest we've gone into the decade, in fact - that will bring you to joyful tears. DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 36: HARTFORD CIVIC CENTER, HARTFORD, CT (3/26/87 & 3/27/87) delivers emotional takes on tracks like "Row Jimmy," "Black Peter," Uncle John's Band," and serves up a hit list of covers ("In The Midnight Hour," "Good Lovin'," "Desolation Row," "Promised Land," "Little Red Rooster," "Morning Dew," Johnny B. Goode") that'll have you hootin' and hollerin'.

    Limited to 22,000 numbered copies, this one has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman and is guaranteed to sell out.

    *2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

    Great to see people in Europe getting theirs before I got mine. I can only guess mine is coming to me after a brief European vacation compliments of UPS Innovations.

    Reasons to be cheerful

    I played the first cd of Dave's 36 last night, and it does work for me. I like the energy - C.C Rider is a highlight. The only low light for me is , with respect to Proudfoot as he mentioned it below, Desolation Row. To put it blood simple, its just got too many words in it. Even Jimi Hendrix would have struggled with that one. Its a great song - but not by anyone but Dylan. I always feel the same way when they played "Stuck Inside a Mobile". Another great song, but what are you suppose 'to DO with it other than try and get the words right?

    With the crowds in London - I don't remember them at all in 1981. The two shows I saw had a similar atmosphere to non Dead shows I had seen. Maybe more Americans travelled over to see them in 1990 - plus the influx of new fans post Touch Of Grey would have affected things. That Paris show in 1990-the one included in 30 Trips-is the best of that tour that I have heard.

    Nice to read news on American drug laws. The issue seems to have dropped off the map in Britain at the moment. You would have thought now would have been a good time to introduce a few changes-cheer everyone up, boost the economy. No, the main emphasis by the powers that be is oscillating between telling people to stay in to safeguard the NHS, followed by new orders to go out and support the economy, followed by new orders to stay in. At the moment we are all supposed to stay in. Come December they will probably try and coerce us into going out again, with the promise of half price Christmas dinners or something. That in itself could increase hospital admissions. I can see the headlines now - " It wasn't the virus that killed him, it was that second helping of Christmas pud. He didn't stand a chance."

    1987 Soundboards

    I am reading about people complaining about the mix, on this release. Go back and check your 1987 releases. 9/18/87 MSG. (boxzilla), I think its, 7/24 and 7/26, Oakland and Anaheim (view from the vault, 12/31/87 Oakland DVD). I don't think they are many straight/true SBD recordings from this year. Most of these shows are being released from the Dan Healy and Don Pearson's Matrix mixes, because that is what is in the Vault in Los Angeles.

    Remember, the days when you were excited to get that tape of MSG, that was recorded outside the Centrum in Worcester....but the jam was so good you kept it.

    I have been told, that only one true SBD from 1988, is 4/11/88 Detroit, rest are Matrix recordings...Also check out the mix on 6/23/88 Alpine Valley. Healy recorded through an oscillator device. You can hear the music swirl...Only time he attempted it. Listen to the Morning Dew....

    As always, thankful for the continual releases, from any era.

    Crowd cheering

    I noticed that the crowd cheering in London in 1990 (as daverock mentions) seemed particularly strong, probably more so than the previous visit in 1981. I was also in Paris and the atmosphere was absolutely electric and yes, just like the build up to a football game.

    If you saw my previous post, I ended up with 3 36's. I bought 2 one for my nephew one for me. The other I have no idea
    Now I got a great bonus. I sent for the poster early on paid etc. A few weeks ago they sent me a notice sorry we over sold , and they refunded to my acc't. Well what was on my stoop? My poster. I will take it. This is the kind of screw up I can live with. Jerry Works In mysterious ways

    man that's harsh. I saw them maybe 20x in the 80s and had the times of my life. The CDs just don't capture it for me after 1980. Maybe a song or two here and there.

Yes.. you are not losing your mind.. there must have been an error or mishap at some point in the supply chain and there apparently more than a few who have not received their DaP 36's yet. My guess is that they are having more made.

Send a PM to MaryE. That's probably your best advice. I bet they make you whole hopefully soon.

I too have not received my DaP36. I had an address change, notified customer service a month+ ago that I hadn't received it. Still nothing. Any help appreciated (Marye?)

Happy New Year everyone.

I once received the Treasure Trove of soundboards from one of the good guys here, and there was so much on it and I had so many commercial releases to still go through that it took me a long time to really get into them.

Then a couple of years ago, I don't know if you remember a guy on here known as wjonjd - he used to be a regular but I guess has moved on. Anyway, he once wrote the following to me about 12/31/72, which I just dug out of email archives by doing a search on the show date:

The Truckin'-Other One-Morning Dew sequence has to be one of the greatest jams of absolute all time. Simply fuckin' mind blowing. I remember turning on someone to the Dead in school, lending him that tape. A couple of days later he asked me, "Where does that come from? Where do you think the inspiration to keep creating like that comes from?"

So of course I immediately queued it up, and what I wouldn't do to have a Full Norman copy of the show. It's been my favorite New Year's Eve show ever since, with Cow Palace '76 coming in as a close second.

Since DaP36 only tied the DP series, shouldn't DaP37 be celebrated as much as #36 since it's the tie-breaker?

What about a mirror image release?

DaP36 = 4 CDs / 2 shows / '87 = '78 \ 2 shows \ 4 CDs = DaP37...in the video for #37, Dave L. seemed to be unusually vague and a little giddy as far as the bonus material. It would be a great way to start the 10th year!

Or has this been announced already? If so sorry.

I hope all are well.

Yes, KF.. Wonjonjd was last seen digging a tunnel 37 feet below the vault in a last ditch, vain attempt to free the master reels for 6/9&10/73 RFK. On the bright side, I hear ZuckFun has escaped and is laying low in an undisclosed location. Many thanks to whoever freed him.

Rumor has it wjon has been enslaved by Rhino and answers customer service calls 19 hours a day.

Sad. Someone needs to tell his wife and kids his hardship was not in vain.

DaveStrange - The "mirror image" release for #37 won't happen, because the bonus disc is for the second release of the year, which will be #38 ( 9/8/73 Nassau Coliseum). The extra material is an hour + from the previous night, Sept. 9th. I listened to my audience recording of that show the day before they announced what #38 was going to contain, and it's a stellar show!

I think it would be similar to last year: #s 33 & 35 were 3 disc releases, #34 had the bonus disc and #36 was 2 shows. This year could be #37 is 2 shows, #38 would have the bonus disc, and #s 39 & 40 would be 3 disc releases.

I realize this would only occur for milestone releases like #s 36 & 37, and in the future for DaP100 (!) if the series is still going. I know the odds for another 2 show release are mighty slim, but you can always hope, wish and dream right?

With about 90 min from another show on this tour, likely to be announced in the video, which should come out around next Friday or thereabouts. Glad there's filler, been annoyed at 2 of the '78 DaPs having very short 2nd discs and no filler, with plenty of good material laying there for use. But filler is also very good because it sometimes produces some of the best material of a release. I just finished my first complete listen to DaP 35 and I'm very thankful for the filler from the night before. I found it to be the best part of the release, the Scarlet Fire was good, too, but the filler is pretty darn good. Being a beggar does prevent me from being a chooser as well as I'm hoping the filler on DaP 37 is not from 4/12/78, which was surely the best thing to ever happen in that pit of hell Cameron Indoor Stadium, and that that show is released in its entireity since I imagine it was part of the returned Bettys. That should be several years worth of DaPs down the road before hitting April '78 again, 3 is pretty high already and no Fall 1972 since DaP 11 and Hofheinz were released in 2014, but hope that Duke show can come out sometime, it is spectacular. Incredible energy, as evidenced in the video on the youtubes https://youtu.be/I_zD1_J5eYs Not every day you see Jerry doing Townshend-like windmills. Though if anybody else witnessed Jerry doing windmills at other shows, I'd love to hear about it.

On Vol 35 they printed my address and phone number wrong... only got that one b/c I happened to run into the mailman wandering in the neighborhood looking for where to deliver it (I'm a westerner in China.. and he wandered up to me asking if I knew the person with the foreign name...). He said it was the third time they sent him out to deliver it...

I know it's old hat to complain about their shipping services.. but come on guys...

Does anyone know why I have received another copy of Dave's 36? It arrived in the mail yesterday with no shipping notification. On the back of it, where the edition numbers are usually listed, it says "Hindsight is 2020 limited edition: 92/300". I haven't actually listened to it yet but it looks exactly the same as the first one I got.

I’m running out of patience after emailing four or five different email addresses (Dr. Rhino, wig, etc.) for the past five months now about a missing Dave’s 36. I have yet to even receive a “we received your email.” But yet they are allowed to continue selling product? Any ideas on how I can rectify this?

I received mine Friday from the 300 run. I am really enjoying this right now, as times have been tough, and the matrix sound I like. The mix has brought my spirit up, so I won't dwell on the service. Billfgrady it was sent without notice, so you should be getting yours any day.

I finally got to listen to the first show (yeah, I'm way late, I know). I was floored! Once you get past the obligatory 80's fodder like "Push Comes To Shove" and "My Brother Esau", it is SOLID throughout. Even Looks Like Rain is tolerable. Gee, who knew? As always, go Brent!
